Is Life
Worth Living?

That depends upon the
Liver, for if the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopetulness
gone, the spirits are de-
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general despondency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim

Mourning for . Chief.

Sunnatonna is dead. His life passed
peacefully away at noon ON Sunday. Sun.
nAtonna held two important and lucrative
posts. He was an Otoe chief and q po-
lceman. His mercer ,ry friends dressed
him three times for the grave, thinking,
no doubt, that this would hasten his de-
mise. When the agency people learned
this they had him brought in from camp,
dismissed his covetOus friends, and coaxed
seemed sealed from the first, and the
white flag waves over one more grave on
the hillside, and one less is there to receive
rations.
Sunnatonna was o clean, tasteful IN
dian He had a pleasant face and smile
for every one. The clerk had given him
q pair of alligator slippers in exchange for
a pair of mOccasins Sunnatonna's wife
had made him a dressing gown out of
curtain calico; and what with these signs
OF civilization, and his cleanly habits and
genial disposition, Sunnatonna was be-
loved by more than the wife whom he
left to mourn for him, and he will be
missed by others than his immediate
kinsf0lk.
Around Sunnatonna's deathbed stood
MS wife and some near and distant rcla-
ttves. When it was known that hc was
dead his wife mourned quietly but sim
cerely. She took tho scissors and clipped
piece of her long black hair and placed
It under her husbands head. Then she
gashed her face with the scissors. The
other women were loud in their lamenta-
tons, especially one, who seemed frantic.
The reporter learned later that the one
who mOurns the loudest receives gift of
something. However, his wife seems sim
cere In her grief. She is beside his grave
carly in the morning and late in the even
ing. She wanders through the agency
like one bcwildcred. Her simple belief
points to u meeting in the Indians happy

The Philadelphia Times makes some
interesting comparisons suggested by
the figures for the fiscal year Just closed.
The total receipts from all sources
amount to $37l ,3SO,S9I and the net
ordinary expenditures to S26S, 5lG, 100,
leaving the surplus revenue III exact
figures $lO2, SCI, 70l. The total decrease
i'll debt for the year is something greater
than the surplus, being, less cash in
Treasury, 500, ,IO7, GlG.
Taking up the first itcm--that OF the
gross receipts, $3Il 1850, Sol it is greater
than the receipts for 1886 by nearly
$4,000, 600 and has been exceeded but
twice since 1872, the total receipts Of
1882 and 1888 being SOB, 525, 80 and
1898, ,2S7, 5Sl respectively. The receipts
from customs reached &2l7, ,lO3,9S3, an
increase of nearly twenty-four millions
over 1856 and with one exception tho
largest amount received from this source
III the history OF the government. The
customs receipts of 1882 exceeded those
of last year about three millions. The
receipts from internal revenue were
$40, 1876, HIS; from sales OF public lands,
800, 600, and from all other sources,
$2H3iO, lG3.
The net ordinary expenditures,
amounting 10 '~-DN ,Oii, lJC, cAtttl IllOSt
OF 1856 about S26, 1000, OUC and are greater
than for amy year since 1873, whca they
reached S27I, G23, ,392 The interest on the
public debt Is the lowest since the close
of the war, having been reduced from
$l43, Isl ,39l, the highest point touched,
III 1866, to $;iI, ,7ll ,J2U III the year ust

mcnt $3S, 5O2, J36, aud the civil and mis-.
cellancous list, SO, ljS, 0jl.
In view OF the tact 'uat uil the bonds
due and available lor pa yment nave been
called and will soon be paid, the uucs-
ton of what to DO with the more than
one hundred millions Of annual surplus
certain to be realized from existing rove
nue. laws becomes q very pressing one.
No more bonds can bc called until the
$3.50, 900, 900 OF four and half per cents
become due Ia 1891. Ii the present sur
plus were allowed to pile up until that,
time there would be enough to pay on
the bonds then available ana half as
many more. But The next bonds await
able for payment are the $I36 100000 Of
four per cents, which are not payable
until 1907.
a reduction Of taxation is thus made
imperative, as it would certainly be dis
astrous to allow the present surplus to
pile up i'll the treasury, while to spend it
on all sorts of wild schemes would be
demoralizing in the extreme. Something
may be iudiciously applied to increasing
our navy and perfecting our coast de-
fenses, but the sum that should be spent
for these purposes should lot be large
in any one year. The best way to dis
pose OF good many millions OF the sur
plus is to leave it III the pockets of the
taxpayers.
